Davidson Family Reunion

This past weekend was the Davidson Family Reunion for Mike's Dad's side of the family. What a crowd! Beautiful weather, tons of food and plenty of friends and family. I could post 25 pictures, but I tried to pick some of our favorites. The first is the Larsen crew - Spencer and 4 of his siblings: from left - Tillie, Spencer, Howard, Cleo and Roger.

Dean and Ella and Cousin Mark and his daughter Lauren

Sarah and Tommy (taken by Maxwell - who is 8 - great job Max!)

Cathy and Lucas Witte - Cathy and Mike went to Morris together, and Cathy is married to Matt Witte. We were sad Matt didn't make it, but we definitely understand why. Their older son Josh had a double ear infection (do they run in the family or what?). Hope you are feeling better Josh! Cathy's dad and Mike's dad are cousins (I hope I got that right)

Tonya and Ella - we were lucky to catch Ella in a few pictures, she was a busy girl. But even busier was her brother Ricky. Not one picture of him - just too busy!
We did capture Max and Tommy together - Tommy loves to grab Max's face and hair.

Tommy had a busy week - Grandma and Grandpa Henderson were here for his entertainment value - and he really learned to crawl. It's impressive how far away he can get, and quickly! A big thanks to my folks for helping out during their vacation, always great to have them here. Tommy LOVES the attention. He was modeling for the middle picture, and he's learning about animals in the bottom photo. He loves turning the pages in books, playing with his John Deere toys and picking up anything tiny on the floor - like grass or hair - to eat. Super! A pleasant challenge for Mike and me!

He's mobile!

Our life has officially changed again - Tommy has figured out how to get around. I'm not sure if you can call it crawling yet, but he's on his way. He pulls himself along with his hands/arms, and pushes off with his feet. Mostly his big toes. It's pretty fun to watch. Until he gets over to things that we haven't babyproofed. It really makes me look at our house in a whole new way!

Also - Mike, Tommy and I would like to welcome little Luke David to the world, new son of our friends Candy and Blake. Congrats guys - can't wait to meet him!
